This One-Pan Honey-Mustard Chicken Breast Recipe is a mouthwatering dish, which is seared then baked to perfection. It’s a simple and delicious dinner option that will please the whole family.
Since I started food blogging I’ve shared a few chicken recipes with you. Like this Juicy and Flavorful Lemon Chicken Breast or This delicious Roasted Chicken with Vegetables. Besides being very inexpensive I find chicken to be my best choice for a healthy and easy meal. Weeknight dinners don’t have to be complicated and this One-Pan Honey-Mustard Chicken Breast Recipe is proof of that.
One of the main reasons I love using my cast iron is because of the convenience of taking it from the stovetop to the oven. The most important part, no hassle when it’s time to clean. One pan and one pan only. Can it get better than that? Well, yes it can. The flavors on these chicken breasts are finger-licking good!
How to prepare this tangy, sweet and juicy chicken breast:
First clean and make a few cuts on the skinless chicken breast. Just the top and do not go too deep. then proceed to season with salt and pepper.
Next, prepare the honey-mustard mixture. In a small container, combine mustard, honey, parsley and add some salt and black pepper, stir well.
The combination of honey, mustard, and parsley make the flavors for this chicken breast recipe hard to resist.
Divide the honey-mustard mixture into two parts. Spread the chicken breast evenly with half of the honey-mustard mixture and drizzle it with some oil. Save the other half of the honey-mustard mixture for when the chicken is ready.
Lightly grease a cast iron or oven/stovetop safe pan and heat over a medium-high temperature. Place the chicken breast on the cast iron. Meanwhile, proceed to pre-heat the oven to 350-degree Fahrenheit.
Sear for three to four minutes each side of the chicken breast or until you get this golden brown color
Add some water, about ⅓ cup of water and continue cooking for 2 minutes. 
Add some unsalted butter to the chicken and transfer the cast iron skillet to the oven. Bake for about 20 minutes or until chicken is cooked through.
Transfer the chicken breast to a cutting board and let it rest for a few minutes. This will allow all the juices to distribute into the chicken breast making it juicy and tender.
Add the extra honey-mustard mixture and enjoy!
